Tritium is radioactive, beta-decaying with a half-life of 12.3 years. Tritium is likely to be useful as a nuclear fusion fuel and although it occurs hardly at all in nature it can be "bred" out of the abundant metal lithium. 2, record 1, English, - tritium

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
Isotope radioactif de l'hydrogène (³H) dont le noyau est formé d'un proton et de deux neutrons. (Élément chimique de symbole T.) 2, record 1, French, - tritium
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Le tritium [...] est radioactif [...] avec une période de 12,3 ans environ. La méthode généralement employée pour l'obtenir consiste dans l'irradiation du lithium par des neutrons. 2, record 1, French, - tritium
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Tout tritium n'est en fait pas nécessairement produit de fission. En effet, l'origine de cet isotope radioactif de masse 3 de l'hydrogène est multiple. On le trouve dans l'environnement, parce qu'il est produit naturellement par l'action des rayons cosmiques sur les atomes d'oxygène et d'azote, mais aussi du fait des retombées des tirs nucléaires. Il est produit dans le combustible irradié à raison d'1 atome pour 104 fissions d'uranium dans les réacteurs à eau ordinaire par exemple, par fission ternaire [...] 5, record 1, French, - tritium
